With these settings users from the group “ALL” cannot remove the “ROOT” folder or make any
changes to its contents. All new files/folders will be created based on the access given by inherited
permissions.
Example:
- file /ROOT/some_file.txt can be changed but can not be removed
- directory /ROOT/directory can not be removed but a users from the group ALL can create folders
and files in this directory.
- file /ROOT/directory/my_file.txt can by removed and changed by the group ALL (if inherited
permissions wasn't changed)
8. Inherited permissions. If the file or directory has inherited permissions, all newly created
subfolders will inherit the main folder permissions. All permissions can be changed. Please keep in
mind that changing permissions in the main folder will trigger the same changes to the inherited
permissions of any subfolder within.
